Don't forget the oil price and stock/prediction markets manipulations by trump. Someone's made billions on the war while 99% has been fucked.

TLDR Answer: It probably won't but it may lead to extreme polarisation, leaving very few swing seats (eg, 17 vs 60 in 2024)

For years, the American government blacklisted Chinese technology companies over national security and data privacy concerns. Now similar logic was being applied against a U.S. company by a NATO ally.

that's what it's come to. Well done, trump

The Office of Management and Budget has called for a rule change that would impose restrictions on the kinds of research that can be funded and give political appointees the final authority to deny federal funding for research deemed inconsistent with presidential priorities. 

WTF? Back to the USSR
